important lore most non-FL people who follow me probably don't know is that music is downright intoxicating to curators. like. for them, going to an opera is equivalent to a bar crawl. what i'm saying is you could totally lock the scoundrel in a room with nothing but a record player and classical music playing on loop and then come back five hours later to find her laying on the floor blitzed out of her goddamn mind

They simply could not handle my considerable swagger. understandable.

seeing blind reactions to the more notorious surprises in hollow knight are always such a gem

I am just now catching that the description of the Wayward Compass charm mentions that it whispers your location to you when pulling up the map.

"hey. psst. little guy. hey little dude. ya see that little spot there. below the big room, to the left? nah nah, more to the left. yeah that there. yeah. dats you. dats where you at :3"

"Some children's tales mention that sometimes sounds can be heard from them if in a quiet enough place. Probably fake."

The Knight lowers the book. A moment passes. It raises the book and reads the passage again. It sets the book down and walks out.

Maki offered his explorer badge, and it's embedded crystal, to the hologram for it to rebuild it's dataset. After a few moments, everything was set up and the challenge began.

The Knight just absolutely tears through the majority of what the Cave of Trials had to offer. It took until the bandits showed up for it to take any damage, and it wasn't until the Wasps that the Knight acted more defensively and started using spells. Maki certainly did not expect the little tyke to start shooting screaming balls of dark rage at the targets but no, apparently it's a sorcerer on top of everything else. The only thing that properly challenged the Knight in all of this was the Dead Landers at the end. That battle was certainly a close call. It still defeated them though. By itself. First try.

The Knight accepted the hologram's reward. To it's left was Maki, watching intently and deeply contemplative. Seeing the Knight looking towards him Maki began to speak up, before the Knight put up it's hand, presumably telling him to hold.

The Knight has no ability to express emotively and yet somehow Maki could just feel the smirk as it reached into it's cloak and pulled out some sort of contraption with pink crystals emerging from it. A subtle heartbeat is heard from the device. The Knight offered it to the hologram.

"Scanning memory... over 150 new entries have been added to dataset. Building patterns..."

The Knight healed itself to max. These people are about to learn a lot about Hallownest.

Maki enjoys "testing" those who seek admission into the Explorer's ranks, and of course he gives this same test to the Knight. The resulting lesson in humility that Maki receives makes him very curious as to just how skilled this stranger is.

The Ant Kingdom used the Cave of Trials as a training course ever since it was discovered. The challenge it offers is configurable, and Maki thought it would be the perfect way to test this Knight's limits. The Knight was never one to turn down such a challenge.

Shortly after the hologram gave the Knight an overview of how the whole thing works, the whole system just outright crashes and the entire cave goes dark. Everyone has a bit of a panic as this has just never happened before.

The Knight quickly tucks it's dream-nail away before anybody notices.

if the knight puts on the ancient crown it just instantly explodes into that massive shade entity, breaking the crown in the process. and it just slinks away like. whoops. sorry.

I like to go with the idea that the same thing that happened to Brumm also happened to Grimm when the Troupe was banished. Which is to say that somewhere not too far outside of Hallownest there's a now magic-less little worm dude just flying around like "wherer the fffukc am i" and another smaller little worm dude who's all like "r u my dad" and Not-Grimm-Anymore is like "whatt the fuuck"
